The MileLion Review

Depends

Should I use The MileLion?

The Milelion is a Singapore-based travel hacking site that teaches you how to use credit cards, airline and hotel loyalty programs to travel better for less. - milelion.com

· 1 week ago

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free, in-depth credit card reviews plus a continuously updated card guide
  • Detailed airline and hotel trip reports from real flights
  • Publishes a transparent mile valuation methodology, not just hype
  • Founder engages the community directly, including Reddit AMAs
  • Openly discusses its sponsored-post policy and editorial objectivity

Cons

  • Singapore-specific: cards, banks, and deals assume a Singapore reader
  • Solo-founder blog; advice is one person's editorial opinion
  • Affiliate and sponsored content sits alongside the reviews
  • Guess: no app or tracking tools; purely long-form reading
